A Primitive Turkish Bath.

1.-The first time / tried a Mexican
sweat bath," said Col. Joe. Shelly, the
famous scout, Il thought l would die,
but l shut my teeth together, and said:
i can stand it as long as you can. old
fellows 1t was at the close of a long
march on a hot day. The Indians fix
ed a tepee until it was air-tight, heated
a rock and then rolled it into the tepee.
One by one we crawled into it after
having stripped off our clothing. Some
of the Indians didn't have much on,
and then we packed together as closely
as sardines in a box. l thought 1
would melt. Every few minutes the
high lord executioner or master of Ger
emonies would talk Indian and throw a
little water out of a can on the rock
This would fill the Boom with steam. 1t
seemed an age before they let me go,
but / guess it wasn't more than half an
hour. Then we all made rush for the
river near by, and dash of few min
utes made us as fresh as a daisy. No
matter how tired we were, the sweat
bath made us feel like kings

Secretary GarIand's Humble Home.

A visitor to his humble home out
Fourteenth street would find himself
suddenly transported to some farmers
domicile. 1t is a two-story frame cot
tage which he lives in, located close by
a market where the farmers and the
butchers bring in their products to sell
to the people. In the little room
which the Attorney-General uses as his
library OF study and where he receives
his visitors the furniture consists of Il
deal table, an old-fashioned rocking
chair and one or two other chairs Of
little value, unless the sole object be to
furnish 4 seat for the weary soiourner
which will not break down under his
weight. On some plain shelving and
around ON the floor of the room are
stored the law books of the host, this
apparently being the extent of his Ii
brary. A soap box contributed by the
grocer serves for the storage of the coal
used in keeping up the fire. The At
torney general does not live thus for
temporary effect among his ownpeople,
but has always done 50.

A pair of old castaway boots veneer
ed with gilt make a pretty wall Orna-
ment To add tdahe effect put patches
of cotton wool on the legs, TO initiate
snow.
An old pair of corSets ornamented
with creeping vines and pretty designs
in leaf, make q very elegant ornament
to hang over a bedroom door.
An old coal scuttle tinted with deli
cate shades of scarlet and cerulean blue
furnishes Il unique relief for dining
room wall. To brighten the efiect,
place several selected vegetables in the
scuttle, allowing the tops to be seen ut
a distance half way across the room.
As an ornamental design for front
hall take dozen tomato cans and paint
each one different color. Tie bow
of pretty satin ribbon of various shades
about each. Run a gaudy string
through the lot and hang them on the
wall close to the ceiling. One can
hardly imagine the divine effect of this
exquisite collection.
An old tin water sprinkler covered
with halo of gilt stars and pulverized
glass diamonds, and suspended from &
parlor chandelier, is very attractive. A
large pink satin bow arranged over th,
spout adds very materially to the effect

Washiueton's Whispering St5hes.

Among the first curiosities shown
the visitors to the capitol are the whis-
pering stones in the Statual;y Hall.
which used to be the old House of
Representatives. There are several
sets of these stones, and person
standing on one can hear second per-
son whisper, if that person is on the
corresponding stone on the other side
of the hall. One of the most curious
of these stones is the long distance one.
The stone is near the north door of the
hall, which the person who talks must
stand on the threshold of the doorway
of the south entrance, some twenty fee
away. Any one standing on the stone
near the north door can hear the
familiar whispers uttered on the door
steps of the south door The other day
a bride and groom Were among the
visitors. They were from New York,
aud one of the groom's friends was
showing them around. OF course, he
was explaining the whispering stones
to them. The bride was on the north
stone and the friend stood upon the
steps of the south door, He was whis,
pering to her several little things OF
interest about the hall. She had hel
back toward him. A page from the
house came along and got interested in
the conversation. Suddenly he thought
he, too, would talk to the bride, and
when the friend stopped for an instant
the page said:
Say, old girl how old are you, any
| how?"
As quick as lightning, the bride hop
ped off the whispering stone. Her face
was crimson with bushes, and she tool
her husbands arm and walked Oft
The friend had heard the pages re
mark, and saw its result, but before h'
could grab the boy, the naughty pag'
had fled. He followed his friend ;tn'

A Modern Xaiitippc.

Jim Aktts was 4 small; tow-headed,
knock-kneed man, with irregular teeth,
which made his mouth look like steel
trap twisted'out of plumb, says the
Southern BirOudc. His wife was a
large, raw-boned woman, fully a head
taller and fifty pounds heavier than
Jim. She had the temper of n half
famished wildcat, and no darky just
'.gittin' religion. was ever half as
much afraid of the devil as Jim was of
heI; he had reason to be. When she was
fairly on the warpath she breathed
chain lightning and flung cyclones
from the tip of her tongue. Nor did
she content herself with words only,
however bitter and furious. She very
often brushed the poor little wretch
with a hickory until he felt as if he
had borrowed his back of saint fresh
from the gridiron.
One bright, golden, delicious after
noon in the latter part of May, jim
left the patch where he had been hard
at work all day and "snuck een'' to
his cabin by the back way. He pro-
ceeded hastily to doff his everyday
clothes and don his Sunday garments,
casting furtive glances all the while at
the black-browed, terrible dame sitting
in the front doorway knitting. With
trembling haste he completed his pre-
parations and was shambling out
again, when his wife, previously ap-
parently obliviuus of his presence,
shot fierce glance at him, which
made him jump almost out of his shoes
and brought the perspiration out from
every pore.
..Whar you boun' fur?" she asked.
Il lowed 1 wuz gwine down to the
fish-fry fur hour or two. Them boys
is hevin -"
"Well, you lowed wrong. You jest
histe off them close, and go back inter
that patch and finish hoein' them per-
taters. Don't you distress yerseli
bout no fish-fries.
but I done tole the boys wuz
gwine to be thar"
We'll, you tole 'em a lie"
..But Ed Sykes and Hank Evans is
a waitin' fur me now at the crossroads,
and I'd ruther not disappint EN-"
"Well, I'd ruther you would. Shet
up, now, and do ez you're told.''
Jim gasped and quaked with fear
but, for the first time in many years,
he thoroughly realized the tyranny
under which he was crushed. His
heart was set on going to a fish-fry
and in that feeble, tiuttering little or.
gan faint shadow, dim eidolon OF
spirit became suddenly aroused. HI
hesitated moment, ventured even tC
return the gaze OF those glowing
wrathful eyes, and then started, say
ing:
s'Well, I'm a-gwine."
Great Jehosaphat! Houp-la!

sey ponds has been found of late to be
filled with small particles resembling
little worms, which have come to he
called ice-worms. A gentleman near
Dover, who found the ice in his pond

from the bottom, filled it with what
looked like great numbers of little
worms. He has noticed that ponds
plentifully stocked with fish are free
